A Game/Test

Read this question, come up with an answer and then click on the comments for the result. This is not a trick question.

It is as it reads. No one I know has gotten it right-including me.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy, she believed him to be just that! She fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister? (Give this some thought before you answer).

Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again. If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer.

Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly. If you didn't answer the question correctly good for you.

If you got the answer correct, well, maybe we shouldn't hang out anymore.

Hello, Hannibal Lector!

This is great. The point is whether you are ABLE to think like a pscyhopath. Cool. James Ellroy, one of my favorite writers, is famously known for having a criminal mind. He, of course, utilizes it for amazing writing instead of committing crimes.

Worth seeing with respect to this: Manhunter, an 80s Michael Mann film based on Red Dragon. Might be better than Silence of the Lambs....
